Men’s Health Care in Calgary

Men’s healthcare as part of our Family Medicine services in Northwest Calgary, including preventive care, routine health assessments, sexual health concerns and ongoing chronic disease care.

Private, preventive primary care

Men’s Healthcare at Gilead Family Practice

Men’s health includes more than treating an illness after symptoms appear. Regular primary care can help you understand your health risks, discuss changes or concerns and make informed decisions about screening and prevention.

Appointments provide a private setting to discuss physical, sexual and emotional health. Depending on your needs, a physician may recommend an examination, laboratory testing, follow-up care or referral to another healthcare professional.

Your care is individualized. Recommendations depend on your symptoms, age, medical history, family history and individual risk factors.
